CRoPs FOR FERTILIzEEs. There are
times when, after the crop has been
harvested, the land Is allowed to remain
undlsturbed until the succeeding spring,
but experience has demonstrated that 1t
1. better to have crop Of some kind on
the ground at all times, provided such
crops be not permitted to mature, but
be turned under as manure. The old
system of following the land, which
was simply to give it aperiod Of rest
for recuperation, proved very beneficial;
yet, while the land is remaining unpro-
ductive advantage should be taken Of
the opportunity for assisting the soil to
regain fertility. The soils that were
heavily cropped and abandoned became
slightly covered with soanty heritage,
but as the feeble plants derived much of
their food from the atmosphere, and
when ploweG under, added that which
they gained to the soil in few years.
the soil became sufficiently fertile to
bear a crop OF some kind. But such
System Is not an economical one, for not
only is there loss of time, but the pro-
cess of recuperating Is slow. Provided
the crop be seeded in with view of
turning 1t under the soil is always ben
Gifted, for while the plants, through
the agency of the roots and leaves, APP
propriate nitrogen in the shape of nitric
acid of ammonia from the atmosphere and
moisture. the roots also exert both a
mechanical and a chemical action on the
inert elements of the soil itself, thus
converting plant food from insoluble
materials. Hence when regular crop
is removed, such as corn, the land
should be seeded Immediately to some
other crop, as rye, for instance, the rye
to be turned under when of the proper
height. No possible injury can be done
the soil, as the rye will not be removed
anG such crop performs the service of
assisting TO restore fertility, and also
prevents the occupancy of the land by
weeds. The labor of blowing and har-
rowing is not very expensive il credit

ed. Shade benefits the land also, and
some farmers are of the opinion that the
shading Of the ground by clover is a
very important matter that does not re-
ceive proper attention; butwhere clover
is not possible, as is the case on some
soils, the growing of special manarial
crops isl cheap and easy mode OF assist
ing to restore those soils that have been
overcropped and become somewhat ex-

The CARE OF HoGs.-There is no ami
NAL on the farm more likely to be neg
lected than the hog, and yet in many
sections of the west he is one of the
many sources of income. On this ac-
count IL is important that he should
have better care, which would In many
cases prevent the heavy losses that occur
from disease. Swine-breeders do not
as rule consider that the hog is, by ma
ture, an eater of green food, and depend
ent in great measure on grazing.
The villager knows how eager the
pigs shut up in the pen during the
whole year are. for the grass and weeds
from the garden near at hand; and
partly because he wants to get rid of
his weeds, and partly because he thinks
the pigs win take little green stuff,
he throws the refuse to them. He does
not reflect that green food is natural
sustenance of the hog, as, it is of the
COW, while by feeding on corn alone, he
is keeping the pigs under an artificial
state. .t..r-..... t -......
The question is, how best to supply
the hog with food. that win most. nearly
answer in fireplace of pasture grass,
for the natural instinct for green and
soft food should be gratified through
whatever material may be at hand.
Health and growth during the Summer
may depend largely upon the success in
preventing indigestion, and The morbid
state Of the blood which comes Of this.
If no vegetables can be spared for this
purpose, it will pay you to buy them, not
on account of the mere hutriment con-
tanned, but for. the dietetic and sanitary
reasons mentioned above. Coal ashes,
charred coal, and charcoal from wood,
should be within reach at all times. In
general way, and by the use of divers
suitable agencies, the bowels should be
kept in condition the opposite of being
constipsted, that the blood may be
neither improved nor charged with un-
healthy secretions. By acting with dis
erection in the manner pointed out, and
protecting them from inclement weather
at the same time thrift during the entire
season is likely to be the result.

A RENEWAL OF THE ROW.
Democrats Hold Judge Turpie Responsible for
Giving Bailey Prominence

The recommendation by United States Dis
trict Attorney Sellers of Tomtit Bailey as his
deputy to succeed Mr.. McNutt, whose resgua
ton is to take effect on April /. has stirred up
whirlwind of wrath in Democratic circles,
which is said to be greatly distressing Judge
Turpie. 1t is given out that the Judge mas been
plainly told that the appointment of these two
State Senators at one fell swoop is too palpable
evidence of direct bargain for the support
given him in his candidacy against Hon. Joseph
e. Mcdonald for the nomination, and that the
evidence is SO fragrant and open that it cannot
be misunderstood or misinterpreted by any one.
These directors say that this fact will require
explanation before the committee OK the United
States Senate when Judge Turpie presents his
claim to his seat as Senator from Indiana, and
that his situation is bad enough without this
additional handicap. In the discussion this
pie is credited with saying that he knew
nothing about the Tomtit's aspirations and that
SO far MIR Sellers's appointment was con-
cerned he had agreed, after his nomination. to
recommend for district attorney anyone that
might be selected-which certainly was exceed
inely complasant in Judge Turpe. The Tom
tits following charge the Judge with equvoca-
ton, and assert that the agreement from the
first included the Tomtit for deputy and that
it was understood from the very time of the
caucus that the Tomtlt wanted the place and
was to have it. Congressman Bynum and his
friends are uncompromising in their opposition
to the Tomtt for the deputyship, charging him
to be a bolter and kicker as proven by
his conduct in the congressional canvass
when he was used az a cats paw by a handful
of malcontents in the attempt to defeat Mr..
Bynum. The Tomtit's induction into Office will
DO the signal for war on the part of Mr.. Bynum,
who will not stint to let his influence be felt
against Mr.. Turpie where it will do the most
good. Frank Creelman, as spokesman for Mr..

seemed to arise on every side of the boys, and
this excited the eunners, particularly LaMotte.
who had been left in the boat by Snyder and
Smith. the latter having hurriedly gone
ashore. LaMotte was about to follow them
when particular flock attracted his
attention. His gun lay in the bottom
of the boat, and in his haste to get it he
caught it by the muzzle and jerked it towards
him. AS he did 80 the trigger was drawn across
a stay in the bottom OF the boat. The gun was
discharged. sending its shot into his body. His
right lung and heart were penetrated, and be-
sides this in taking hold Of the barrel he had
placed the little finger of his right hand over
the muzzle, ard that was shot off. The wounds
in the body were horrid, one of them being large
enough to admit the insertion of a hand. A tee
phone message brought Dr. Sutcliffe and MIR.

within half hour after they received the mes
sage. but they could do nothing for him. He
died shortly after their arrival LaMotte's re-
mains were brought to the city by Kregelo.

MORGAN COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
They Do Not Believe in the Capacity of Their
Party to Govern the Country.

The Democrats of Morgan county, and espe-
cially in Martnsville, the home of Eb Hender
son, are causing nneasiness among the party
managers by threatening to 60 over in body to
the Republicans. Their dissatisfaction rests on
several reasons one Of which is Z. c. Matson's
course. He was not their choice for Congress-
and after strenuously opposing his nomination
they voted for him under protest In trying to re-
pair this breach Matson was profuse in promises
After his election he ignored his pledges, and
gave what patronage he had to few bummers
and political friends. E. w. Calls, once Re-
publican, was made postmaster over the protest
of every member OF tie county central commit
tee and majority of other Democrats in the
city of Martinsville. Following this appoint
ment came that of Thomas Kennedy, an ex-
saloon keeper. to the postal service and several
were given no satisfaction. Within the past
year young William Henderson, the son of Eb.
has had three different appointments, all of
which he gave up, as represented, on
account of incapacity, while the applications
of capable young Democrats went unnoticed.
Finally Eb himself was given fat position
with some patronage, which he could distribute
among Morgan county people, but he prefersed
too look in other directions for his assistants
w. Fl. Miller, q prominent Democrat, and an
ex-county official, has been chairman of the
Democratic central committee for several years.
The first of this week he sent in his resignation
of that Office. and Thursday nounced that he
had concluded to withdraw from the Democratic
party. He gives as his reasons that he has seen
enough of a Democratic administration to fully
convince him that the party is wholly incapable
of governing the country. He will hereafter act
and vote with the Republicans His actions will
be followed by hundreds of the best citizens of
the county. DR.. Charles Seaton, treasurer of
the county, was in the city yesterday, and says
the better class of Democrats all indorse Mr..
Millers course.
